'''Disney Legends''' is a [[Hall of Fame]] award that is awarded by [[The Walt Disney Company]] to individuals who "[have] made a significant impact on the Disney legacy." The honor was established in 1987, and was traditionally awarded annually during a special private ceremony. Since 2009, it has been awarded on a biennial basis <!-- This is the correct usage because the D23 Expo is held once every two years. Biennial means once every two years, biannual means twice a year.--> during Disney's [[D23 (Disney)|D23 Expo]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=McClendon|first1=Lamarco|title=Disney Sets Dates for D23 Expo 2017|url=https://variety.com/2016/biz/news/d23-dates-2017-star-wars-marvel-1201740320/|access-date=September 20, 2016|work=Variety|date=March 28, 2016}}</ref> 

Starting in 2024, the Disney Legends awards ceremony was moved from D23 Expo's traditional venue at the [[Anaheim Convention Center]] to the larger [[Honda Center]] down the street and was hosted by [[Ryan Seacrest]].<ref name="Najib">{{cite news |last1=Najib |first1=Shafiq |last2=Leib |first2=Mason |title=Miley Cyrus, Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis and more honored at 2024 Disney Legends Awards |url=https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/miley-cyrus-harrison-ford-jamie-lee-curtis-honored/story?id=112684030 |access-date=August 13, 2024 |work=[[Good Morning America]]|date=August 11, 2024}}</ref>  The ceremony was recorded and made available for streaming the next day on [[Disney+]].<ref name="Najib" />

== Criteria ==
[[File:Disney Legends Plaza - Walt Disney Studios (Burbank).jpg|thumb|Examples of the Disney Legends plaques: living recipients with handprints and the award's insignia for posthumous recipients.]]
Recipients are chosen by a selection committee, formerly appointed and chaired by Disney Legend [[Roy E. Disney]], [[Walt Disney]]'s nephew, former vice chairman and director ''[[emeritus]]'' of The Walt Disney Company. The committee consists of long-time Disney executives, historians, and other authorities. Besides the award statuette itself, each honoree is represented by a bronze [[commemorative plaque]] featuring the recipients' handprints and signature if they were living when inducted, or simply an image of the statuette emblem if the induction was posthumous. The plaques are placed on display in [[Walt Disney Studios (Burbank)#Disney Legends Plaza|Legends Plaza]] at the [[Walt Disney Studios (Burbank)|Walt Disney Studios]] in [[Burbank, California]], across from the [[Team Disney|Michael D. Eisner Building]].  

== The award ==
Imagineer [[Andrea Favilli (sculptor)|Andrea Favilli]] created the Disney Legends award, which is handcrafted from bronze each year. The award depicts the arm of [[Mickey Mouse]] holding a star-tipped wand.

A 14-foot sculpture replica of the award statuette sits in Legends Plaza in Burbank.  An identical 14-foot sculpture replica is located outside the entrance of [[Disneyland Park (Paris)|Disneyland Paris]]. It was dedicated and unveiled in 1997 and re-dedicated in 2002.

Disney describes the award as follows:

<blockquote><poem>
The Disney Legends award has three distinct elements that characterize the contributions made by each talented recipient.
'''The Spiral'''&nbsp;... stands for imagination, the power of an idea.
'''The Hand'''&nbsp;... holds the gifts of skill, discipline and craftsmanship.
'''The Wand and the Star''' ... represent magic: the spark that is ignited when imagination and skill combine to create a new dream.<ref>{{cite web|title=Disney Legends - D23|url=https://d23.com/disney-legends/|website=D23|access-date=26 January 2017}}</ref>
</poem></blockquote>

The first Disney Legends committee consisted of [[Dave Smith (archivist)|Dave Smith]]; Arlene Ludwig; [[Marty Sklar]], Randy Bright; [[Jack Lindquist]]; Sharon Harwood; Art Levitt; Shelley Miles; Paula Sigman; Doris Smith; and Stacia Martin.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121030010542/http://d23.disney.go.com/news/2012/10/d23-presents-disney-legends-at-25-years/ D23 Presents Disney Legends at 25 years].  {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121030014151/http://d23.disney.go.com/news/2012/10/d23-presents-disney-legends-at-25-years/ |date=October 30, 2012}}</ref>
